What do you do when you've spent 17 years helping other people get well and then your own body falls apart?

That's exactly what happened to Keris Marsden. A nutritionist, author and yoga teacher, Keris hit 40 and found herself in the middle of a seven-year chronic illness journey that no diet, supplement, medication or therapy could touch. The turning point came when she stopped trying to fix herself and started listening instead.

In this conversation, Keris and I talk about what it's really like to be a health professional who can't heal herself - the shame, the frustration, the moment she realised that all her knowledge had actually become part of the problem. We talk about the nervous system, about childhood patterns that show up as adult symptoms, about why so many of us use exercise, food and productivity as coping mechanisms without even realising it. And we talk about what genuine healing has looked like for her.

Keris has recently launched The Mindful Body Method; a membership program for women who are done with quick fixes and ready to go deeper.
